The Brutocao Schoolhouse Plaza is located in the historic Hopland High School buildings, used as a school from 1923 to 1963. This complex includes wine tasting, an Italian restaurant with wood-fired oven pizzas, a wedding site, regulation bocce courts for public use, a children’s play area, and lovely rose gardens.
